| Ignition key switch intermittently works and then does not; causing the car to stall or not start. the car can be induced to start by shaking (vibrating) the keys while the key is in the ignition switch slot. this has the same symptoms as the honda recall of the 1999 acura tl & cl's (along with various other honda models). the symptoms that led to the previous recall caused the car to stall during operation putting the driver (& passengers) at risk of an accident. my vehicle is a 2000 acura tl and thus not covered by the recall. *tr | |||

| Vehicle is a 2000 acura 3.2tl with 25,000 miles. car immobilizer (anti-theft) system activated preventing car from starting. all keys locked out, so system itself at fault. there was no attempt to steal car (it was parked in garage at the time). if this had happened in a remote area, driver and passengers would have been stranded. acura said that the only solution was to have car towed to dealership. i believe the anti-theft system is faulty and should be recalled for replacement or removal. *nm | |||

| Tthink twice and long before buying a 2000 acura 3.2 tl.we are the second owners of this make/model/year. we and the original purchaser have experienced the following issues:on september 25th, 2001, at 20129 miles, the first owner took the automobile to an acura service department because the srs (supplemental restraint system) indicator light had come on.the shop replaced the 'opds unit' but provided no explanation as to why the warning indicator had come on. at 26467 miles, the original purchaser brought the car to the dealership because the brake indicator light had come on.brake fluid was added, but no reason for the light's illuminating was given.we purchased the vehicle with an odometer reading of 25807 miles.shortly thereafter, the srs light came on and stayed on.at 26467 miles we brought the vehicle to an acura dealer.shop personnel checked the srs indicator and consequently ordered yet another 'opds' unit.while in the shop, the seal around the front windshield,which had puckered up,also was repaired.some three weeks later we returned to the dealership to have the opds unit replaced.no explanation was given for the problem.in the interim,the brake warning light had come on,and the brake reservior cap was changed as well.less than two months have passed:the srs light is again constantly on.we are about to schedule an appointment to have this looked at, and also have the trunk light inspected, since it doesn't work.the trunk light problem is not due to a blown fuse or burned-out bulb; i checked that myself.having the srs warning light come on,together with the dealer's inability to explain or rectify the situation,puts one in something of a quandry:is it a false warning,will the airbag(s) deploy in a crash? or is it an indication of a problem and will the airbag(s) not deploy when needed? the acura 3.2 tl is not an inexpensive car, and one would expect it to require minimum attention while providing a high degree of reliability and safety. it doesn't. | |||
